Free Centenary bus service puts city in the loop

"In celebration of Canberra's
Centenary, ACTION's Route 100 offers locals and visitors a regular and
convenient way to see the capital's icons this year," the Chief Minister said.

"The hop-on/hop-off service runs on the
half hour between the City Bus Station and the parliamentary triangle, stopping
at or near our most treasured national institutions."

The route includes stops at the
Australian War Memorial, National Gallery of Australia, Old Parliament House,
Parliament House, Albert Hall, National Library of Australia, National Museum
of Australia and the National Film and
Sound Archive.

From the 4th of February to the
31st of December 2013, the bright Centenary-themed buses will run
every 30 minutes between 9am-4.30pm, seven days a week.

"As well as being a convenient way to see the city,
the service will help take pressure off tourist parking in the parliamentary triangle
and enable government employees to head into the city for lunch or to
run errands.

"It's about making it easier for
Canberrans and visitors to celebrate our city's history and heritage as one of
the best planned cities in the world," the Chief Minister concluded.
